Welcome back to UPROXX’s all-Breaking Bad, all the time nonstop coverage of last night’s third-to-last episode, “Ozymandias,” which I’m sure that my beloved peers have already dissected to the very last proton. Haha, just kidding, there’s plenty more coming tomorrow. In the meantime, let’s talk ratings because with only two episodes left in the entire series, Breaking Bad is putting up its best numbers to date.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, last night’s already critically-acclaimed episode was watched by more people than this season’s debut episode, which held the show’s previous record for highest ratings. In all, 6.4 million people tuned in last night to watch something happen to one or more of the characters. Honestly, I never know when something’s a spoiler with you people anymore.

Among adults 18-49, the series set another high with 4.05 million viewers in the targeted demographic. The 3.59 million adults 25-54 brought another record.

AMC also cites SocialGuide’s Twitter findings from Sunday night, noting the series generated 604,765 mentions — with a peak of 16,329 tweets per minute during the episode’s final 10 minutes. (Via THR)

I have to believe that the 1-hour lightning delay during last night’s Sunday Night Football game on NBC that went down right as Breaking Bad started might have added to the ratings bonanza, but after a scholarly discussion with my UPROXXian colleague, Danger Guerrero, we determined that most people probably finally caught up on Netflix and DVR. Also, we determined that Hi-C Ecto Cooler was the jam.

Either way, if I’m a gambling man, my buffalo nickel is already wagered on these final two episodes breaking consecutive ratings records, followed by record numbers of people destroying their TVs, as we may never have something this incredible to watch again.

Then, put it on the stove and boil it down, adding more jell-o powder in appropriate proportions as it thickens. Make sure you stir constantly and keep anything from sticking to the bottom of the pan, because it will scorch and taste nastier than the Ecto Cooler itself.

As the liquid reduces, you may want to add corn starch or another thickening agent (pectin, maybe?) until you have the consistency of jelly. You’ll need empty jars with sealable lids (like, I dunno, jelly jars?) and it will need to go into the fridge to fully gel.

I’ve never done this, but the technique is similar to making aspic and the like. And don’t call me if it doesn’t work and you get botulism from not boiling it enough or not sealing the jars enough. When I was a kid, my mom used to put a wax layer above the jam, but Mason technology must have improved since then.

I had been planning to re-watch The Shield in the coming months, as that had been my favorite series prior to Breaking Bad. I am now terrified of watching that (or any other series that I have enjoyed) because I don’t want to realize how far below BB’s level it might turn out to be.

Holy Jesus Tits…. Epiphany from hell… Vince Gilligan and Chuck Palahniuk get together and come up with the greatest….
